Center for World Music

Studies in Music vol.5

This study concerns the Bura tsinza xylophone, an instrument that is closely

associated with the Bura peoples‘ identity. The tsinza occupies an important

position in Bura culture. Old musicians emphasized that it was originally an

important funeral instrument. Today, however, the instrument has assumed

other roles with an entirely different meaning for many in the society. The

traditional context of use of the instrument is disappearing, but new

contexts have surfaced that keep the instrument a lively art amongst the

people. This study explores the oral history of the instrument, its

traditional and contemporary contexts of use with an aim to understand why

and in what ways the Bura maintain tsinza musical performance despite the

gradual disappearance of its traditional context.
